Machine Trades is a program designed to provide experience and
training in layout, lathe work, mill work, grinding, and other
miscellaneous machine tool operations. Related instruction in technical
and general information is also a part of the course. The above
experiences are proved through a number of shop projects chosen by
the instructor and students. Blue print reading and mathematics are
taught in the class in an applied manner so the student so the student
will recognize the need for both. The intent of the class is to teach job
entry skills and a strong background for post-secondary opportunities
for the various related trades using the basic machine shop equipment.
Students have the option to be affiliated with Skills USA-VICA.
